Did losing half his net worth in a robbery contribute to his enjoyment of life? From his subsequent behaviour towards his girlfriend, it seems like it didn't.
Yes, this is a thing that I've found bizarre for my entire life. I don't think it's a tech thing, I think it's an American thing.

We seem to think that there's a correlation between wealth and being good/wise/smart/etc, even though that doesn't appear to be supported by evidence.

I think it comes about in part because being wealthy in the US is directly correlated to being powerful, and in part because of religious undertones (prosperity gospel) that assert that wealth is a sign of God's favor.

There's also the related problem of people thinking that because someone may be a genius in one thing, that means what they have to say about things outside of their field of expertise has weight beyond what any other random person says.

With a compacting GC (ie most of the relevant ones) lists often provide better memory locality than arrays. They only lose at a large scale due to having +8 bytes of memory, which makes arrays occasionally cheaper for large sequences.

Quite amusing reading that article, then glancing over at the Social media links where of course Twitter is now replaced by that X (which, let's be honest is one of the quickest and most effective rebrands I can think of.

"Time series" is such an over-subscribed term. What sorts of time series is this actually useful for?

For instance, will it be able to predict dynamics for a machine with thousands of sensors?

Really, why? Because you might drown?

Try holding your breath and just floating, arms at your side and legs not moving. You will bob to the surface. Then quickly release your breath and snap your neck back to take a new one. Repeat. That's all it takes to not drown. You could almost do it as a quadriplegic (though I'm not 100% on "water balance" in that case).

Surprisingly this is something starting to show up in the server market lately with a new protocol/tech called CXL. But yea that latency issue is still there over the distance but it'll let more remote memory type stuff start to happen. I doubt you'll do more than a few meters (i.e. within the same rack) ever but it'll likely end up getting used for so called "hyperscaler" type companies to more flexibly allocate resources, similar to how they're doing PCIe over ethernet with DPU devices right now. Unlikely that this will end up at the consumer level anytime even medium term because that kind of flexibility is still just so niche but we might see some CXL connectivity eventually for things like GPUs or other accelerators to have more memory or share better between host and accelerator.

This "Wiggle room" would be at most implementation defined and in some cases just unspecified values, these probably aren't desirable but yes they're less dangerous than UB.

Rust has UB if you don't obey the rules (Safe Rust doesn't because the rules are not your responsibility in Safe Rust, the unsafe superpowers allow you to do things the enforcement can't check but now all rules are your responsibility) but it's not somehow magically "more sane" than C++ it's ultimately lowering to the same LLVM IR that Clang uses. It's tolerable because you're only confronting the risk when you explicitly choose to do so. If you don't need to squeeze that last few drops of performance you can leave it. If you don't have the confidence, if your experts are too busy to review it, if you haven't had a proper night's sleep, you can write safe Rust today.

Funny. Users aren't asking for OLE by name it's true, but there's a multibillion dollar integration industry out there. Consultants wiring up Salesforce into dozens of apps, plugin ecosystems, Zapier, the list is massive.

Show HN: We built a Gitlab plug-in to debug web apps quickly
The worst part of software engineering is trying to debug an existing system to understand why it’s not behaving the way people expect. And, it’s not about having to go on a call with product or QA. Because even then you don’t always know what to look for, or what to ask. So one call becomes 3 or 4, weeks go by, only to still find yourself staring at a vague issue ticket with no idea of what to do with it.

That’s why we built Jam, so that maybe debugging will be a little less terrible and you can get back to building what’s next a lot faster. Jam is a browser extension you can click to record your screen or replay a bug that just happened and it automatically includes console/network logs, browser info, repro steps, etc.

We want to make developers’ lives easier, not add extra steps to debugging— that’s what today’s launch is all about.

We just released a new integration using GitLab’s API, so that anyone can create GitLab issues, with all the details engineers need to debug auto-included. No need to switch tools, copy links, export anything… just click once, select the project and any other labels, and you’ll have a complete GitLab issue in your project tracker.

Excited for y’all to try it and let us know what you think. You can use code FRIENDSOFGITLAB to get $100 of Jam credits: jam.dev/gitlab

In my case the processing was happening in our backend. I can't remember exactly why it couldn't be SQL, actually it's possible it could have been sql. But changing it to sql would have been a bigger change and this wasn't really the task I was working on, I just happened across it while doing something else.

I have also seen and fixed similar travesties where someone iterates through a huge list making one query per element, where it was fairly trivial to rewrite it to a swl join.

Hardware just seems the wrong word to use in your case.

How many thirtysomethings in Europe are considering retirement? (Whose parents couldn’t do the same.)

I’m a bit of a mutt, but I hold Swiss and American citizenship. The European economic model is set up for stability, not massive accrual of wealth. One of the things that wealth lets you do is travel frequently to Europe, to see and experience its beautiful cities and culture. But in terms of living space, amenities, access to services, et cetera, an upper-middle class American commands resources on par with Europe’s rich. Rich Americans, on par with Europe’s remaining aristocracy.

Not really. Most serious lap swimmers can do a kilometer every 20 minutes sustainably, akin to a marathon runner's pace (Sprint pace would be 100m/minute, with 50m/minute being what you would see in the fast lane of most recreational pools). So 3.6 kph isn't all that different, maybe a little faster than average but I assume they were also using a better-than-average bicycle person when doing the test.

There real advantage here is that you can use leg muscle. Distance swimming is all about upper body muscles, with legs being the afterburners only really used for sprinting. This machine would invert that arrangement.

Brilliant was a Smart Home company who made light switches you could install, replacing your existing ones.

They only offered cloud control and APIs were private — they actively rebuffed any attempt by the community around Home Assistant to better support their product.

No, not all people are buoyant. Some people sink. I used to be able to float even with my lungs empty, but after losing 30kg I can now walk on the bottom of the pool will my lungs full of air.

Also, even if you are buoyant, it does not follow that being strapped to some device means you can't drown.

i don't think you can do that. there was just a video on here last week of a repair shop drilling the memory out, as that was the only way to remove it without damaging the motherboard.
Some people (myself included) don’t float like this. I try basically every time I get in the water and my legs drift down to just after 45 degrees and then I slip under completely and don’t resurface until I give in and swim back up.

People who can float never believe me, but enough have now seen me in the water that I know I’m not “doing it wrong” I just don’t float.

The people who’ve seen me try it in water always say something along the lines of “huh, I thought everyone could float” we’ve done a few goes.

Most people float, I’m just not one of them.

I don't see why this necessarily follows. Unless, e.g., the only reason you are not killing your neighbor is because your pretty sure you will be prosecuted for it.

To view the whole world as just itching to commit crimes as soon as they can get away with it is just already buying into the presuppositions of policing the original gp was interrogating.
